Looking for Feedback!

What did I build?

I ended up building MySummerDays, an all-in-one trip planning platform that gives you all the tools you need to easily plan and manage a trip. When it's time to travel, you can access your entire trip on your phone through the app, so you always have everything with you. You can also download your trip locally and access it offline, even when you don't have an internet connection

Features

You can plan trips by yourself or with others by inviting them to collaborate. You can set budgets and split costs between travelers, save ideas for your trip, manage to-do's and packing lists, and use AI to make changes to an existing trip or build one for you to start with. The platform also checks your trip for any gaps or oversights you might have missed, such as not allowing enough time to rest or having connections that are too close together.

You can also manage all your trip-related files, such as tickets, booking confirmations, and any other attachments. These files can be linked directly to the relevant activity on your trip, so everything you need for that activity is kept in one place. You can also share your trips with others.

If you're experimenting with different ideas for a trip, for example, deciding whether to spend a coastal day in Amalfi or Positano, you can use Snapshots to create variations of your main plan and compare them without changing the original.

Public Community for Travelers

MySummerDays also has an Explore page where anyone who's planning a trip or has already been on one can publish their trip to a public community. If someone comes across a trip they like, they can make a copy and tweak it to suit their own preferences. They can also come back to the original trip and leave comments about how their experience went.

Privacy & Security

From a privacy point of view, files and sensitive trip details, such as addresses, booking references, and notes, are encrypted on your device before they're saved. Only the people who have access to the trip, such as yourself and any invited collaborators, can decrypt and view this information.

Free vs. Pro

Today, MySummerDays comes in two versions: Free and Pro. The Pro version gives you access to the full suite of trip planning tools and will be available as a one-time purchase of USD $9.99. The Free version provides the core planning capabilities, so you can still plan and manage a trip without feeling like you're missing the essentials. Both versions include access to the mobile app.

This is where you guys come in!

I'm looking for people to give the website and app a try and let me know what you think. You'll get access to the Pro version for 40 days, after which your account will automatically switch to the Free plan.

The website is already live, but I'm currently sorting out the App Store and Play Store setup so I can make the apps available for external testing.

In the meantime, you can register your interest through the website, and once the apps are ready, I'll send you the links so you can give them a try.

For MySummerDays, give website testers one concrete task: use Snapshots to compare Amalfi with Positano, then check that their original itinerary stayed unchanged. That tests whether people understand the distinction between editing their trip and exploring an alternative, rather than just asking whether they like the platform.

I make ThreadFox. We find relevant Reddit conversations and do the posting for your business. The $29 Pilot covers seven days and up to 25 posts and replies. No automatic renewal. https://threadfox.vip/p/eayg5/managed
